Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

"Siren’s Lure: A Mermaid's Tale of Secrets, High School, and the Chilling Depths of the Unknown. Unravel a web of mystery as a teenage mermaid battles sinister forces, confronts her siren heritage, and races against time to save her kidnapped parents from the clutches of an evil Sea Witch."

But I can't forget. High school is a torment, and my newfound ability to sense thoughts pushes everyone away, except Ash—a heartthrob hallucination turned real—who claims I'm a long-lost siren princess. As strange events unfold, my parents are kidnapped, and Ash becomes my protector, though doubt lingers. The hockey team's captain seeks more than friendship, and my life spirals out of control. I am determined to free my parents, even if it means returning to the ocean depths. Juggling high school and unraveling my mysterious powers, I discover a sinister Sea Witch threatening my family and the entire ocean realm. Time races against me. I'll fight, even if it means confronting the chilling Atlantic. Amidst the chaos, I cling to the hope that this isn't a psychotic episode—praying to wake up with legs instead of a tail.
